A Sharing...

O Lord,

I am caught in that moment of half-light,

the breathless point of balance between sun and moon.

As I bid farewell to the cold purification of the night,

in that same movement, I fling wide my arms

to be embraced by the warmth and glory of the sun,

knowing that in due time I will bow to the receding light

and open arms to darkness once again.

Thus, O Lord,  You come into our lives,

in the blaze of splendour, the certainty of Your presence,

in the times of aridity and isolation, even to the point of
 
  despair.

Throught this continuing journeying,

from the zenith of midday to the depths of midnight

and back to blinding noontide, we grow towards You,

the true light, that shines like the sun beyond darkness

  forever.

~Ishpriya R.S.C.J.
